Need Help?1 pattern - 4 Ways - Replay Live Archive
Take 1 pattern and make it 4 ways. Let's talk about my recent journey to knit the "perfect" summer top ... boo-boo's and all!
A pet peeve:
I hate when someone shares something they made and say "I knit this ... but look where I messed up"
(arghhh!!!!). I hope you don't do that!
BUT .. I'm going to share where I struggled with the hope that you will avoid my mistakes.
Here's what's planned for the LIVE
Sleeves (or not)
Hem options
Finishing techniques
Cut 'n Sew
Avoid my boo-boo's

| Alessandra U Thank you! |
| Jacqueline O Iâm inspired! These are great , thank you so much. |
| Julie L Love your cowl idea, Sue |
| Patricia H Thank you Sue! |
| Nancy M usually anything bigger than a b cup needs some darts |
| Ruth S FBA |
| Mary K Would short rows help to make a cowl? |
| Eebie C nope i didn't didn't have any, the linello was great too, no bias |
| Nancy M lining wont help BUT an excellent mattress stitch seam will hide it some. |
| Nancy M ha ha! like the time I was in such a hurry I forgot to dress my sample and the 38" chest rayon top became a 54" bust!!! |
| Addie S lining |
| Karin R I'm knitting presently with a badly biased yarn, but It's perfectly OK with rib... just not stockinette |
| Addie S do you think a linning would help?? |
| Eebie C that yarn looks like linello...we seem to like the same colors , I've knit a simple Tee with linello on my lk150. And I've used the same color of summer sesame as the top your wearing!!! |
| Marie-Jo C Thank you, Sue ! |
| Priscilla D Susan Guagliumi's long stitches with a twist. |
| Nancy M love that sideways knit! |
| Nancy M just make sure you make it the right width to go around your upper arm nicely. |
| Gwen A How do you do that lace pattern on the machine I just love it |
| Gwen A I want make that pink one with that lace |
| Marie-Jo C Is it possible to add long sleeves to theses garments ? |
| Gwen A That sweater with those mistakes are so small , it's still beautiful |
| Mary K side slits: I often short row because the edges hang longer |
| Ruth S Theory of the five P's - proper preparation prevents poor performance. My motto and I seem to test it all the time.. |
| Nancy M found that a nice worm trim will cover thatwonkyness |
| Marie-Jo C Anyway, your picot hem looks great.; |
| Joy G Sue, for the picots, could you have knit with a higher tension? |
| Nancy M a ha the boo boo was NOT swatching stockinette |
| Karin R does the bottom of that top roll up? |
| Morag W Design feature |
| Karin R side slits often cry out for some anti-curl-plans... another thing I often avoid (side slits, not planning) |
| Nancy M that's a designer detail not a boo boo |
| Jenny M B I'm with you, Karen and Nancy! |
| Cherie S I had an old sweater that I cut'n'sewed for practice... ut was a big confidence builder! |
| Marie-Jo C I like the blue garment and the beautiful collar ! |
| Karin R Electronic machine :-) |
| Mary Ann B Cut & sew means my pattern doesn't get wonky. |
| Patricia H Love the tuck pattern |
| Karin R I just dislike sewing so I never do sew and cut, I prefer shaping the neckline. Much easier for me |
| Jenny M B Yes, purist here! Won't tackle cur,n, sew, |
| Patricia H Um, left off being a perfectionist a long time ago!! |
| Marie-Jo C I like very much c |
| Nancy M I'm a stop and shape gal |
| Julie L Cut and sew is almost always what I do when knitting in pattern. |
